I have a 4-Quart Saucepan with Lid. I was lukcy to pay much less money at a discount store.

I've tried all different levels of cookware in my life (from a grocerystore brand to All-Clad), and Anolon Titanium is the best!

It never sticks, and it never burn my food no matter how hot it gets.

I really wanted to own a whole Anolon Titanium set. However, it's a little too expensive ($325) for me by now. Possibly because of its brand new technology. I sincerely appreciate your unique invention. One day I'll own all of the nonstick hard anodized titanium pots and pans!

Easy to clean. Even cooking. Great for rice, dried beans of any type, and tomato based sauces because it doesn't stain or stick.

Cookware is durable. inner nonstick coating is far better than less expensive types. handles are sturdy and allow easily control when full. definitely worth the money.

The pluses of the Analon Titanium saucepan with lid are are also its minuses:
Pro: Very heavy-duty, certainly undentable
Con: So heavy, especially so when full of liquid, that the pot is hard to lift, potentially easy to lose a grip and have it fall on a glass cook-top, which it probably would break. Even though it's only a 3-quart capacity, it definitely could use a helper handle.

Pro: Very flat on the bottom, ideal for glass cook-tops.
Con: The identification on the bottom of the pan is sharply etched, and if the pan is dragged across a glass cook-top it will scratch it.

Pro: Excellent, substantial, hard-to-find METAL, not glass, lid, the main reason I selected it!!
Con: While the hollow metal pot handle does indeed stay cool, the metal handle of the lid gets hot and requires a potholder to deal with.

Pro: Easy to clean, the non-Teflon non-stick coating is effective.
Con: To put it in the dishwasher you have to use dish-washer gel, can't use powder or tablet detergent, and no information is provided about whether the metal lid is also dishwasher proof.

Pro: Heating is nice and even; my first batch of brown rice cooked in it came out perfectly. So far, no cons in this department!

Overall I like this pan, and am considering ordering others in the same line, but probably only those that have helper handles. The major negative (besides the price) is it's scary weight -- I'm quite fit but my "little old lady" elderly mother would not have been able to use it at all.

These pans were a fantastic value for such a great product! Analon has always had a reputation for quality cookware and they fully earn that reputation with these pans.
